Ingredients
- 6 slices Texas toast
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 1/2 pounds ground sausage
- 2 cups finely grated Parmesan
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil, for frying
- 4 cups store-bought marinara
- 2 1/4 pounds bucatini, cooked, for serving
- 12 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
- Soak the Texas toast in the milk in a shallow bowl for 10 minutes.
- Add the turkey, sausage, Parmesan, parsley, garlic, onion and some salt and pepper to a bowl. Add the Texas toast and milk. Mix together (the bread will get broken up as it mixes) and form 3 oversized balls.
- Heat some oil over medium heat in a small Dutch oven. Add the meatballs and carefully brown/sear the surface, moving them around to keep their shape. The meatballs should be somewhat crowded in the small pot.
- Pour in the marinara and add water if needed to cover. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer, carefully turning the meatballs halfway through, until cooked through, about an hour.
- To serve: Plate up the bucatini and top with the sauce and meatballs. Garnish with parsley and basil.

Easy to make! Tasted great! Definitely a keeper!
I ❤ this dish
This recipe is easy to prepare and was delicious. I ended up making them smaller in size.
I love Marinara! I would have to cut the recipe down a lot. It’s only me. Lol
She left her ring on when she formed the meatballs…
Just saw a rerun of this episode wondering if anyone has tried these but made normal size meatballs. Would you still use do much meat?
I think Ree used Rao’s Marinara Sauce
4 cups store-bought marinara? What brand do you use?
If I wanted to make the meatballs average-sized (I know, how boring haha), how should I adjust the cooking time?
You made them that fast. The show was just on
